How does the most Romney voting group in America BY FAR, become the bad guy for not voting enough pro-Romney?

NO GROUP gave 79% of their vote to Romney except Evangelicals.

Everyone should be dropping to their knees and praying that non-Evangelical republicans and Christians and Catholics and the anti-religious would start voting like Evangelicals.

Not all Evangelicals are Conservatives. Some are brain dead and easliy seduced by liberalism. Ofcourse one can’t dismiss many Evangelicals would vote for a Marxist over a Mormon.

Since Evangelicals are 79% pure and unmatched in their Romney vote, why would you go after them instead of, well, ALL or ANY non-Evangelicals.

Do you want Evangelicals to vote like Catholics or the non-religious, or Jews?

Yes. I think what you’re saying here is very elucidating—it’s really the fervency above all, that’s off-putting.

The GOP would help improve its image vastly IMO by not being seen as the Religion Party (which doesn’t mean being anti-religion either).

So it’s alright to be fervently pro-life as long as we don’t bring religion into it?

So how exactly did Romney “ignore” you?

Although that question wasn't addressed to me, I can name a few things that Romney did to shoot the bird at Christians after he won the nomination.

In the last few months, Romney rejected the pro-life party platform, returned to being pro-abortion, released that he still supported homosexual scout leaders and homosexualizing the military.

How many other reliable voting blocs does the GOP have aside from Evangelicals? I suspect the GOP alienates more voters away from the party than it gains by trying to appeal to SoCons.

I think I understand, but please educate me. Are you suggesting that the GOP become pro-abortion? Should it favor homosexual marriage? Should it abandon support for Israel?

I suspect the GOP alienates more voters away from the party than it gains by trying to appeal to SoCons as much as it does. It’s terribly easy for the Left to scaremonger others about the GOP being Theocrats because of this, even though I fully realize that’s an exaggeration by Liberals.

Ah, yes, the Pee Wee Herman ‘I know you are but what am I?’ response again. Are you about ten years old? You look younger in your picture.

Actually our only hope with non-whites, is through their faith.

Social conservatives know that their conservative economics can only work in a socon nation, the social conservatism creates voters like Evangelicals, who cannot be bought off by libs waving goodies and ill-gotten gains.

There is a reason that the left is made up of the non-religious, it is because they are only interested in economics, and in their perception, the left delivers to them and the right wants to deprive them of their short term, individual gains, by preaching that conservative economics is better for the people as a whole, for the nation as a whole, for the long run, and that they are more honest and fair.

Only true conservatives, social conservative voters, will accept conservative economics, after all, this capitalist nation was founded by social conservatives.

by not being seen as the Religion Party

Would it help the Democrats to not be seen as the murder, filth and perversion party?

Oh, that's right, the government schools, the media and the entertainment industry have been paid to dictate how each party is viewed.

Filth is good, traditonal American morality is redefined as hate and not coool man.

The right wing is proven right again. The left has succeeded in changing evil to good and changing good to evil. Just as the right predicted they would do, while being attacked for that correct prediction for fifty years. Many of these attacks have come from republican social liberals.

This has been done with a large supporting cast of various America-rejecting social liberals, libertarians, cowards and big mouths such as Kneel Bortz and his ilk.

The GOP get the conservatives, because it is a different party from the democrats.

It’s voting blocks are Protestant Christians, men, whites, both white women and white men, veterans, the military, those over roughly age 50 or so, small business owners, hunters, the married, and some other categories.

What is funny, is that YOU are the oddball, most anti-Christians, anti-Americans, are democrat voters, but I think that you vote republican.
